Make an inventory of at least 20 of your physical possessions. For each, indicate when and how you plan to dispose of it. Also, provide detailed reasons for this behavior.

(c) What are your most frequent disposition options, and why?
a. The replacement items and the items that are supposed to be sold in scrap are easier to dispose of as they are being taken care of by the authorised dealer from whom we want to purchase the new product.
